A Face of Furrowed Fields

the face I see is furrowed fields
as if dug deeply by the plow of
life penetrating into the soul
as seeds are planted to become
crops of experience alternating 
with joy and sorrow as the years 
passed by with health and pain 
of drought and floods which are 
ingrained upon the facade of the
man of furrowed fields
